Mama Duck
On a long walk along the Indian Creek trail, I was able to walk through the woods and get down next to the water where this mama duck was swimming.
Which shot is your favorite?
Mama Duck #1
Mama Duck #2.
Mama Duck #3.
Further down the creek some male mallards were hanging out together, so I share them as a bonus pic.

Mama Duck # 3 definitely my favorite
Thanks Jacquie! I liked the way the sunlight streaming through the trees had her swimming in a sea of green. It was so fun to have her be brave enough to get nice and close to me. I feel like I’m usually trying to snap ducks from 100 yards away! 🙂
I like #2 – she’s most in focus. Love the reflection and all the green.
While I wanted to share all three pics (because there was something I loved about each), I liked #2 enough to make it the featured image for this blog post. Thanks for always stopping by and sharing your tips and experience with me, Lindy!
I like Mama Duck #1 because her reflection in the water is clear. I also like that you captured her looking at the camera.
Thanks, Kathy! I had a hard time picking one favorite out of the three shots because I loved something special about each one. I agree with your assessment of what makes #1 a fun shot.
Definitely # 3!
Thanks for stopping by and sharing your perspective, Ana!
You are very welcome! 🙂
I love #2…her expression is sweet.
Thanks for stopping by and sharing your perspective!
Mama Duck 3 is my favorite.
Thanks for stopping by, Sofia, and sharing your perspective!
I like the mama duck #3 🙂 The color in the water and the focus on the ripples I think are a little better, but they are all really pretty 🙂 Gotta love those ducks!
Thanks! Yeah, ducks are just so cool!
